AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention can improve the color printing of 3D models by reducing the coloring contour, which helps avoid damage to the model and maintains the appearance. This technology can overcome traditional 3D printing's limitations and make 3D models more durable and visually appealing.

Problems solved by technology

Ink jetted on the contour of the color 3D model may be damaged if the contour of the color 3D model is worn or contacts water.
Further, the appearance of the colored 3D model will be seriously affected.

Embodiment Construction

[0023]Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024]The invention is directed to a method of inwardly decreasing coloring contour of color 3D (called the “method”). The method is tied to a 3D printer having a print head for squeezing out materials and another print head for propelling droplets of color ink so as to print a color 3D model.

[0025]Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective view of a 3D printer according to a disclosed embodiment of the invention is shown. The 3D printer, as shown in FIG. 1, is labeled by 1 (called the “printer”). The printer 1 includes a platform 11, a 3D print head 12 for squeezing out materials so as to print a 3D model, and a 2D (two-dimensional) print head 13 for propelling droplets of different color inks so as to color the 3D model.

[0026]In the disclosed embodiment, the 2D print head 13 is an ink jet print head for conventional 2D ink jet printer. The 2D print head 13 is provi...

Abstract

A method of inwardly decreasing a coloring contour of a color 3D object includes: performing an object-slicing on a 3D object to generate records of object print-route information of printing layers; performing an image-slicing on the 3D object to generate records of color-printing information of the printing layers, wherein each color-printing information respectively involves an original coloring contour (3) of each printing layer; performing an inward decrease on the records of color-printing information to generate records of updated color-printing information, wherein each updated color-printing information involves an inwardly decreased coloring contour (4) of each printing layer, and the inwardly decreased coloring contour (4) is spaced from the original coloring contour (3) by an inwardly decreased distance (D); and causing a storage to store the records of object print-route information as route files, and storing the records of updated color-printing information as image files.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONTechnical Field[0001]The technical field relates to color 3D (three-dimensional) objects, and more particularly relates to a method of inwardly decreasing the coloring contour of a color 3D object.Description of Related Art[0002]Due to the maturity in the development of 3D printing technology and also the narrower size and lower price of current 3D printers, 3D printers are growing and becoming popular very quickly in recent years. Additionally, to make the printed 3D models more acceptable to the users, parts of the manufacturers have brought new types of 3D printers to the market that can print full-color 3D models.[0003]However, in related art, the 3D printers mentioned above directly jet the material on the contour of a color 3D model. Ink jetted on the contour of the color 3D model may be damaged if the contour of the color 3D model is worn or contacts water. Further, the appearance of the colored 3D model will be seriously affected.[0004]Thus, the ne...
